Police reopened the case against former officer Nickson Agasirwe after a killer confessed. Daniel Kisseka Kiwanuka admitted to helping murder prosecutor Joan Kagezi back in 2015. Kiwanuka told judges that a man called Nickson drove around town using a white government car and gave orders. Security sources believe this Nickson was really Agasirwe, who ran special operations against crime gangs. Officials confirmed they are looking at fresh evidence and might arrest him again.
Agasirwe worked as an assistant to former police chief General Kale Kayihura before getting locked up for bad conduct. His name appears on many files about illegal arrests and sending people back to other countries without proper procedures. Court papers from ballistics experts showed the same gun killed Kagezi and two Muslim religious leaders. Sheikh Mustafa Bahiga and Sheikh Hassan Kirya died from similar shooting attacks between 2014 and 2015. Security teams are checking if Agasirwe helped kill multiple people or arrest innocent suspects to stop investigations.
Kagezi worked as Uganda's top terrorism prosecutor when gunmen shot her dead on March 30, 2015. She was driving through Kiwatule with her children when attackers struck. The murder shocked Uganda and worried international partners who worked with her on major cases.
